Hmm, It was never lost, buried/ignored maybe...just take a look at all the comments (above and below)....hard facts/history. *grim sigh/snicker*
Designating Bill Clinton “The First Black President” was not only an insult to millions of people of African descent; it was also a sloppy idea that couldn’t be better designed to reflect the sloppy morality, sloppy judgment, and sloppy sense of logic of the Left. Toni Morrison should be ashamed of herself and should retract this sloppy—and insulting—designation forthwith.
If she’s the nominee, Dems will have a hard time getting 50% of the black vote? Wrong, TN2K. Hillary as Dem nominee might well reduce black turnout, but blacks just won’t vote for Republicans. Hillary’d still get four fifths of the black votes, but the total number of black votes would be greatly reduced. As so many octegenarians and their descendants still worship FDR for “saving the family farm”, blacks likewise still vote for LBJ and his Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, even though Democrat LBJ needed Republican votes in the Senate to get the acts past Democrat filibusters.
Historically blacks vote in low numbers compared to their potential voting population, but when they vote its overwhelmingly democrat (85-90%).
he man crowned as America’s first black president
I can’t stand that people call him that when his character, in no way, is reflective on how I see my community. Those Clintons are totally evil
There was Ron Brown, but he wound up with a .45 sized hole in his head and bill clinton was laughing when he left Ron’s funeral.
There was also Ms. Elders, of course, for the chirrun.

I wouldn’t consider Education Sec or Surgeon General exactly high positions.
Romney has recently been polling very good among 'moderates' and conservative blue-dog Democrats ... especially those who would not vote for Bomb-o Brack-a.
Any loss of votes due to hard-core GOP conservatives staying home will be made up by independents, moderates, and southern Democrats who cross over and vote Republican.
The general public is also warming up to Romney the more they see him excel in the debates.
They will continue to warm up to him thanks to positive comments from Limbaugh, Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Hannity, and other conservatives in the media world.
Keep dreaming. I can't believe the number of so-called conservatives who are excited about this NE rino? If the country chooses this liberal republican as prez then I'll be quite surprized, but the way it stands right now, it's going to be Hillary or Obama!
I would start preparing for one of those socialist, it will be a long four years. Eight if the dumbass Repubs don't start electing conservatives.
Separated at birth.
You have every right to be ripped... The Clintons and too many Democrats have marginalized the black community and taken blacks for granted. When can we ever expect MLK’s “dream” to be realized with that kind of attitude and those kind of policies being promoted by the dominant political party in the country?
He might want to think about moving his office out of Harlem.
Exactly... his legacy is stored somewhere with an evidence tag attached to it. Fitting, IMO.
